Why do you configure the 2nd BTS to multi-drop mode?  

The 2nd BTS is at the _end_ of the line, and thus has to be configured like a
'single bts' setup !

Only those BTS that have to pass the E1 signal from BPORT0 to BPORT1 need
their BPORTs in mult-drop mode.

i think it does.

You do not need a BPORT1 on the 2nd bts (at the end of the chain).

Now the final question: Did you patch your hfcmulti kernel driver? What kind of
module load parameters do you use in order to run D-channels on multiple E1
timeslots?
